Product Information

• Name: (S)-3-Pyrrolidinol
• Synonyms: (S)-3-Hydroxypyrrolidine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Pyrrolidinol is a synthetic chemical that binds to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. It has been shown to inhibit cell growth in vitro, and may be used as an anti-cancer drug. 3-Pyrrolidinol has also been shown to have inhibitory effects on the replication of DNA in cells. The chemical reacts with hydrochloric acid to form a hydrogen bond, which enhances its ability to bind to the receptor. This reaction can be reversed by adding an acetate extract, which removes the hydrogen bond and causes the chemical to dissociate from the receptor. 3-Pyrrolidinol has a lactam ring with three functional groups (an amine group, a hydroxyl group, and a ketone group), which makes it more soluble in water than other compounds with only two functional groups. Its potential use is mainly for treating cancer or inhibiting bacterial growth.
